Hi all,

It's been a looonngg work day so we are being lazy and ordering pizza...

Quick question - I know my eyes are normally bigger than my belly when it comes to eating takeaway pizza...

so... would it be better to inject for about half the amount I expect to eat then inject for the rest if I do eat more after or do people have better solutions for this?

Thanks in advance 🙂 hope you are all having great dinners too (probably healthier ones too!)

A lot of people split their injections for pizza as the fat content can mean it is slow to digest, so I would think that splitting and then seeing what you've actually eaten would be a good strategy 🙂 Having said that, for me pizza produces very steady levels, so it's down to personal experience 🙂
 
I can never win with pizza Had a dominoes Friday was 6ish before bed glass of milk with insulatard then 21.2 in the morning :O x
 
Sorry to put you off but i dont eat them. Always starving after my 50g meal. Too many carbs for what you get ! 🙂
 
Love the pizza experiment!

Well, as usual I ordered a pizza far too big (although husband now happy as he loves cold pizza and will enjoy that for lunch tomorrow!). Started at 6.1 and having just tested I'm 9.1 so pretty happy with that 🙂

Thanks for advice as always. Think i'm going to crash now as back in at work at 6.45am (yuck!).

Night all x
